What it is
Spinach is a meeting assistant specifically tuned for engineering ceremonies. It joins Zoom, Meet, and Teams calls, transcribes, and produces structured output mapped to standup, sprint planning, retro, and incident-review templates. Action items sync directly into Jira, Linear, ClickUp, Asana, and Notion. Spinach raised a $13M Series A in 2024 led by Atomico and is used inside engineering orgs at Series B-to-D companies. The product is purpose-built and narrower than horizontal notetakers, which is the point. Pricing and product details listed here were last reviewed by Neugence on 2026-05-12; check the vendor site for current values before quoting.
Watch out for: Optimized for engineering workflows; less useful for sales or general meetings.
